====> Royal V: ride on dolphinmum

==> Be RegiusAfter a quick exchange of pleasantries you decide that the sea carriage is too much hassle and your servants can bother with it and your possessions, you'd rather ride on the back of your Moirail's lusus and get faster where you need to be

==> Be RanijeYou fasten a bigger riding chair on your lusus and help your Dear Moirail on her back, then climb on, tooShe starts the long journey back to the Main Palace

===> Be RegiusYou are still feeling miffed at this random voice in your headYou can't help but talk out loudRegius: she's older than me!Regius: but I don't like her like that

===> Be RanijeHuh?You stare at your Dear Moirail Regius who's gone pink in the ears, you cannot see his face as you are riding lower on dolphinmumYou shrug off his comment as Typical Regius BehaviourYou also suspect Regius has temporarily forgotten about Kalyan's insubordinationYou will only attempt to mediate for her if he remembersKnowing your moirail, he won't

===> Be RegiusYou're flipping the fuck out so hard dolphinmum has to slow down to avoid having you fall to the ocean

===> Be RanijeYour Dear Moirail Regius seems too busy flipping the fuck out so you take it upon yourself to signal servants overThey help you delicately dismount Regius and escord you both into the PalaceAs Regius is guided to G'lbgolyb, you stay back and coordinate the delivery of the rest of his belongingsYour own palace is nearby, but you should probably remind Choire to send over the leftovers of heraltest show to feed your Dear Moirail's lusus

===> Be Regius===> Commune with G'lbgolybYou kneel down and place your hand on her beak, your eyes close as you feel her speak to youShe is hungry===> Throw a kingly tantrumYou quickly break off the communication and address the servant trollsRegius: why hasn't she been fed?Regius: feed her RIGHT NOW OR SO HELP MERegius: YOU WILL FEED HER YOUR FLESH

===> Be RanijeYou've never really been a musically inclined troll, but you are well aware your ancestor was an accomplished trollharp playerIt's always been a dream of yours, to learn how to play itStill you never really found the motivation

As you were lost in thought, shooshpapping Regius, the guards announced Choire's arrival

She did a low curtsey and then performed a short interpretative dance that looks kind of like her shows summarizedAt the end ten corpses shot out of her syllandex and fell to the ground at her feet

You rolled your eyes at her antics

===> Be RegiusRegius got shaken out of his stupor by the spatter of inferior troll blood upon his kingly visageHe flipped further the fuck out

===> Ranije: Feed G'lbgolybYou take some trolls and throw them into your Dear Moirail Regius' Dear LususChoire helps youG'lbgolyb gobbles them up happily

===>Be RegiusYou are done with this shitYou leave the girls to take a very much needed showerLowblood blood is gross and probably riddled with pest

===> Be RanijeNo surprise here, Dear Moirail Regius is never present in strategic meetingsYou proceed to explain how the protest will goKalyan and yourself will arrive relatively early and stay at the Instigator Building so you can keep an eye on the protestYou will only get involved if it becomes a serious matterYou ask Choire not to attend because this is meant to be a serious event. If trolls see her they will think it is all just a set up

===> Be ChoireYou kinda wished you could spend some time with Kalyan, but if the Royal Moirail asks you to not get involved...you can't precisely say noIt's no secret you are despised by the lower classes and you are seen as a blood traitorAfter all, your victims are fellow lowbloodsThe way they are chosen isn't entirely fair but... hey, it's a jobYou get the prisioners chosen to get executed and turn their death into a showIt brings you as much hate as it brings you admiration

===> Be RanijeRegius seems bored out of his mind, Choire is brooding silentlyYou feel a voice inside your head that makes you feel the slightest bit wearyYou beckon a slave and ask them to bring information about the protest

He takes about 20 minutes to come back running and collapse at your feet

Yes, of courseYour entree is kelp retrieved from the lair of a venomous sea monster, seasoned with ground diamonds and gold flakesIt's alright, you'd had betterThe main dish is taking a while to prepare though...

The servant that bears the news of your Dear Moirail's passing is swiftly executed for playing a bad prankIt's not until the servants kneel at your feet that you realize they are not jokingWhy? How could this happen?You refuse to believe itThe protest was supposed to be monitored closely by securityYou will punish someoneSomeone has to die for what they did to Dear Moirail and you will bring the full force of your rage at the Instigators if needed

That's done alreadyYou're having a hard time holding the tears back, but you have to manageShe wouldn't want you to cry like a stupid wigglerYou should probably go with them, but you're not feeling up to the taskAlong with the soldier there is a messenger who carries a letter addressed to Grand Highblood In Training KalyanShe is to oversee the completion of justice and avenge Ranije
